Washington: American basketball player Derrick Rose, the youngest ever NBA player to win the MVP award, announced his retirement on Thursday after 16 seasons.
The 35-year-old former Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks point guard posted a photo of himself on Instagram sitting on front of a chess set and holding a newspaper with a love letter to basketball.
He also took out pages in the local newspapers of the six NBA cities he played in -- Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Detroit and Memphis -- to thank each fanbase.
"The next chapter is about chasing my dreams and sharing my growth," Rose told The Athletic.
"I believe true success comes from becoming who you were created to be, and I want to show the world who I am beyond basketball.
